An increase in development in the area surrounding Homebush Bay has seen the local population more than double - meaning thousands more drivers using the roundabout on a daily basis.

According to motoring expert Ian Luff, road rage is commonplace place when drivers are faced with chaotic roundabouts, such as the one in Homebush.

"This really is a recipe for disaster," Mr Luff said. "When you've got so many cars, so many people, so many residents, it really is not working at all."

While A Current Affair was filming, cameras captured a driver being cut off by a bus while attempting to exit the roundabout, a motorcyclist knocked from his bike after being hit by a car and numerous near-misses.

NRMA spokesperson Peter Khoury admits Homebush Bay's road infrastructure has struggled since the day it was opened.

"It's an area that has struggled since day one," Mr Khoury said. "It's just getting worse and because of how bad it is, you would need to start thinking of options like building an underground underpass or tunnel to take traffic off the roundabout."

However Roads and Maritime Services spokesperson Ken Kanofsky says that it isn't just a problem with the individual roundabout, but a problem with the area's struggling road infrastructure.
